It has been reported that manager Antonio Conte will leave Tottenham Hotspur at the end of this season.

Gianluca Di Marzio, who is well versed in Italian football, said on the 22nd (Korean time) through Italy’s ‘Sky Sports’, “The news I can say for sure is that Conte will leave Tottenham at the end of this season.”

“There was no contact. Conte’s contract is about to expire and the club has not requested a renewal,” he added.

Finally, “Tottenham doesn’t like frequent gossip,” he said. “Coach Conte wants to sign players, but the club prefers trade.

Conte took over the Tottenham baton in November 2021. The duration of his contract was quite short. It was only 18 months old and was due to expire at the end of the 2022-23 season. In the near future, it was necessary to negotiate a renewal of the contract.

But it was slower than expected. Originally, according to multiple reports, it was expected that the contract renewal would be signed within the period of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. However, even now, five months before expiration, only a quiet atmosphere continues.

Some saw that investment in the transfer market became the main factor. As the January transfer window nears its end, Tottenham haven’t signed a single player. Conte’s plan, which always called for the reinforcement of high-quality players, is proceeding differently. Also, from the standpoint of Tottenham, unlike last season, it is regrettable that the performance and game results have deteriorated.

As distrust of each other grows, it seems that the strands have been drawn to break up. Di Marzio said, “Conte will leave Tottenham at the end of this season. 스포츠토토 The club has not asked Conte to renew his contract.”

In this case, the one-year extension option became useless. There is an option in Conte’s contract that Tottenham can execute at their own discretion. However, it is meaningless because the club is lukewarm about renewing the contract.

Meanwhile, Tottenham currently ranks 5th in the English Premier League (EPL) this season, advances to the round of 16 in the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League, advances to the 4th round of the English FA Cup, and is eliminated in the 3rd round of the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup). being recorded
